The 2345 timing i find quite bizarre. Maybe enough to head off auld lang syme but even if half of those in 1886 on boxing day decided not to go out new years eve, having been warned earlier then it would still be better. Absolutely bonkers. How many hours did they sit on that news?

It would have made sense to have closed every nightspot last night to get the message across if nothing else. At least until we know where we are!

Don't necessarily have to be next to them. There was a case in the news a week or two ago where someone was infected after being "downwind" of an infected person in a restaurant for about five minutes. He was a couple metres away, facing the guy, and was downwind due to the aircon system.

Covid is spread through airborne mist/droplets that can hang in the air for some time in the right atmosphere... such as a crowded, warm and humid pub. Person doesn't have to cough or sneeze either. Talking, shouting and singing will also generate fine droplets.

This "15 minutes, 2 metre" parameter is being taken as some sort of written in stone law. It needs fucking off.

Dan Craddock the owner of Plan.com offered to fully fund a thorough T&T app on behalf of IOM Gov. It was declined. Apparently we don't need it.

If that's true then there needs to be a thorough investigation and heads should roll.

It should have been an opportunity for the island to put itself on the map and show the rest of the world how its done.  Other countries would have cried out for the ability to test in a small population with only 2 mobile carriers.

Beggars belive if that offer was made and they said no

Is this like the - what was once up and running superbly - excellent https://www.bus-man.com/

I can confirm that. Being that the case how is this contained?

Science and logic would say lockdown until any cases incubate and show themselves, then address them. At present nobody now knows who's got it or where. It could be being spread right now, there's pubs full of footy fans.

Unfortunately science etc. is/has been playing second fiddle to politics and CS.

Ring 111 & isolate if you have symptoms. If not carry on as normal that’s the official advice.

These calls for 3 weeks lockdowns are just ridiculous without any evidence of community spread, we are now seeing regular new cases because we are actually testing arrivals
